Heronby is a proposed development village close to Escrick, in North Yorkshire, England. The plans detail a village of between 3,500 and 3,800 houses with a shopping area, clustered around an ancient woodland. The development has been criticised for its lack of transport, the effect on the ancient woodland, and the population numbers living there, which objectors state would make it a town, not a village.

St Helen's Church is the parish church of Escrick, a village south of York, in North Yorkshire, in England. A church was first recorded in Escrick in 1252. Its tower was rebuilt or repaired in 1460, and the church was repaired in 1663. In 1759, the pulpit, reading desk and pews were replaced, and a gallery at the east end was replaced by one at the west end. However, in 1781, the site of the church was granted to Beilby Thompson to improve the area around Escrick Hall, on condition that he built a new church. The second church was built on a new site, by the York to Selby road. It was a brick structure, in the classical style, and was consecrated in 1783. However, in 1857, it was replaced by the current church, a stone structure in the Perpendicular style, designed by Francis Penrose. The new structure cost £26,000 to build. The church survives today, with a vestry added in 1896. A fire in 1923 destroyed the furnishings, but the church was quickly restored by John Bilson, and reopened to worship in 1925. In 1966, the church was Grade II* listed.The church has a five-bay nave with a north aisle, a two-bay chancel in the form of an apse, an eight-sided apse at the west end, containing a bapistery and chapel, over a crypt, and a tower to the north-east. There is also a south porch. The church is supported by buttresses and has battlements. Various gargoyles decorate the structure. The west apse contains an ogee-headed door to the crypt. There are an assortment of Geometric windows in the church. Those behind the altar were designed by Bilson. There is an early 14th century monument to a knight, possibly Roger de Lascelles, which is now damaged. Among the wall monuments are one to Beilby Thompson, and one of about 1816 to Jane Lawley, carved by Bertel Thorvaldsen.

Escrick Park is a historic building and country estate in Escrick, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The estate was formed by Picot de Lascelles in the mid 12th century, and a manor house was first recorded in 1323. It descended through the family until 1668, when Edward Howard, 1st Baron Howard of Escrick sold it to Henry Thompson. Thompson's son, also Henry Thompson, rebuilt the country house at the centre of the estate in the 1680s. It originally resembled nearby Bell Hall. In 1758, and again in about 1765, John Carr of York extended the house, for Beilby Thompson. His work included the north range, more than twice as long as the original house; a detached stable block; and remodelling of the interior. A northwest wing was completed in 1848, and a link to Carr's stable block was built in 1850. In addition, a conservatory was constructed, and the east side was extended, providing a new entrance hall and larger dining room. In 1898, Thompson's descendents purchased Skipwith Hall, and in 1929 they made it their main residence, converting Escrick Park into flats. 1949, the house was instead leased to Queen Margaret's School, which purchased the building in 1974. The house has been grade II* listed since 1951. The house is rendered with stone dressings. The Carr extension is in brick, and it has a hipped Welsh slate roof. The main block has three storeys and seven bays, flanked by single-storey single-bay extensions, and with two-storey rear wings, the right with three bays and the left with four bays. The entrance on the right has a portico with four Ionic columns, a frieze, a cornice and a balustrade. The main range has floor bands, a moulded modillion cornice, a frieze, and a balustrade with urns on the corners. The windows in the ground floor are casements, above are sash windows, and all have architraves. In the Carr range are canted bay windows. Inside the house, remains of Carr's decorative scheme include the main staircase; plasterwork including half of the ceiling in the entrance hall, and the ceiling, cornice and frieze in the dining room; and the panelling in the dining room. There is a late 18th century fireplace made of yellow and white marble, probably designed by John Fisher, and a library with built-in bookshelves, a gilded ceiling and cornices, which was probably designed by Edward Blore. Carr's coach house and stable block is separately listed at grade II*. It is built of brick with stone dressings, rendered on the front, and with a Welsh slate roof. It has four ranges with a square plan around an open courtyard. The south range has two storeys, and nine bays projecting slightly under a dentilled pediment containing a clock. The range has a plinth, a continuous impost band, a dentilled cornice and a hipped roof. On the front are three recessed arched with moulded heads, and sash windows. On the roof is a cupola with Doric columns and a domed lead roof. The other ranges have a single storey. The grounds of the estate were laid out in the late 18th and early 19th century, and as part of the process, much of the village of Escrick was demolished and rebuilt on new sites. The kitchen garden has been demolished, with houses built on the site in the 1990s, but most of the remainder of the estate survives. Various structures in the grounds are listed, including the Garden Temple, a former cottage, and various gates, lodges, and garden urns.

As built, it was rectangular in plan, approximately 60 by 45 feet, with entrances on the south and west fronts, each of which was symmetrical.

The ground floor contained a substantial entrance hall, a parlour, a dining room and a library; the first floor a drawing room and several sitting rooms; and the basement accommodation for servants and a kitchen. In about 1717, a kitchen wing was added on the eastern side.Both the main and rear staircases survive from the original build, and alterations have been relatively minor, such as the replacement of entrance doors and external steps in the 19th century, and 20th century sundials added above each entrance. Original panelling and fireplaces survive in most rooms. In the entrance hall is a Jacobean overmantel, brought from Deighton Hall, and a side room has an overmantel brought in about 1750 from a house on St Saviourgate in York.
